I just wanted to add my 2 cents on the effectiveness of liver flushes. I started doing HC's flushes approximately 1-year ago and I try and hold to the every other week schedule. My primary motivation to start Liver Flushes was the amount of "liver spots" rapidly increasing in quantity all over my body. I had over 200 ugly brown spots on the top of each leg and at least 100 on my chest. After 1-year of flushes I am down to less than 12 on each leg and about 12 on my chest. The remaining "liver spots" are the largest, most intense of the original collection. It is my goal to continue flushing until all of the brown spots of discoloration, commonly referred to as "liver spots" are gone and completely vanquished from my system.

How fortunate I feel to have been able to reverse some internal condition that was adversely affecting my physical appearance. J9

Amazing, so many people have done so many different things and were never succesful.
I wonder if there is another reason they went away. I have done 47 flushes in 3 years and I have gotten more. This subject has been discussed several times since I have been on curezone, but noone had luck as far as I know.
I am glad for you that you have improvement.

Hanna, I am not exactly sure what you are saying here: ". . I have gotten more." Are you saying you have gotten more liver spots in the last 3-years? or what luck you are referring to "...noone had luck as far as I know."

As to your first 2 sentances . . .
"Amazing, so many people have done so many different things and were never succesful.
I wonder if there is another reason they went away."

I have this to say. Because someone does not have a barometer to gauge noticable changes in the physical body itself, that does not mean that sucess has not been achieved or improvement has not been made. And as to another reason that these so called liver spots may have gone away, I can't imagine what it could possibly be. I was experiencing that they were multiplying not subtracting. I was told by several nay sayers that the spots may be called liver spots but they had no connection to the liver itself. I was not deterred and pursued the cleansing of the liver and to my delight the spots started disappearing. Maybe my mind set expected the results I got.

I spuradically check CZ's liver forumn so I missed any former editorial(s) concerning liver spots. This time when I checked I read so many naysayers I was prompted to state why I started doing Liver Cleanses and the results I achieved. Let me know if I can be of further help. J9

I had the same experience. After numerous flushes over three years, the spots on my hands and arms have either disappeared or faded to where they are barely noticeable. I once read the spots resulted when excess toxins are deposited in the skin because the liver cannot process them. When the spots fade or go away all together would seem to suggest improved liver function due to flushing.

I tried researching "Liver Spots" once to find out how they got their name and I couldn't find any info, except that a few *modern* sources said they have nothing to do with the liver. Then how did they get the name? Seems to me there was at one time a known relationship between the liver and liver spots, but it got lost in the hype of modern knowledge.

I read a while ago that they can be toxin waste products stored in the skin that polymerized due to sun exposure which is why the liver and liver function get mentioned. Generally the consumption of rancid oils that the body cannot deal with.

Liver spots? Wow... I'm very glad to hear you say that you have found less of them with this liver cleanse! You know if the Dr.'s refuse to believe that stones are in the liver, then it is likely we should really raise our eyebrows at what we read regarding liver spots. As one said earlier in this thread... why then are they called liver spots. As we all know the liver is a major function to cleanse... and we know that the skin is the largest organ and does have a function to filter out toxins.

As was said in regards to sun..... if sun is a major factor alone... why in nursing homes where the elderly really have limited sun.. they continue to get more liver spots? Dr. S. Cabot said that although sun is a contributing to this condition...... it's not the only contributer.

"As sun exposure plays a role in the development of liver spots it is advisable to stay out of the sun. Cover up when outside and use a good quality sunscreen (minimum spf 15) as part of your daily skin care regime.

Improving the liver function is important to prevent and manage skin conditions of any description including liver spots, as the liver is the major filter of the blood, clearing it of toxins that can build up in the system and create free radicals which promote cell damage in the skin"

If the sun can start them, why don't children have age (liver) spots? It's because the filter can't get rid of them.

Yup....six days of juice fasting and day three of Dr. Schulze s liver cleanse and almost all of mine (I had them on my hands) are gone. The ones that remain are much lighter and are fading daily.

I think it is absolutely silly that modern docs say the name is invalid.

I was watching Mary Poppins with my kids the other day and in the beginning scene the nanny quits. The wife is apologizing to the husband saying, "Sorry dear you're so much better at picking out nannies....". she says something like, "She seemed so stern and ridig."
And the husband says, "Winnifred, don't ever confuse effeciency with a liver compliant!"

I had to laugh at that! The plot of the movie is circa 1910 and yes, they did know much more than we do about the liver!
